The MSS stores its software in Flash ROM. This software controls the 
initialization process, the operation of the MSS, and the processing of 
commands. The contents of Flash ROM can be updated by downloading a 
new version of the operating software.

The MSS can be reloaded from network hosts using NetWare, TCP/IP, or 
MOP. Reloading instructions are given in the following subsections. 
Regardless of which protocol is used to update Flash ROM, the following 
points are important:

¥

The Flash ROM software is contained in a file called MSS.SYS, 

provided with the MSS media. This Þle must be accessible when 
updating Flash ROM. MSS485 users should substitute MSS485.SYS 
when the reload instructions refer to MSS.SYS.

¥

The MSS.SYS download Þle should be world-readable on the host, 

regardless of which download protocol is used.
